Alex, Fedja, Timo and Lara are four troubled teens for whom the upcoming Christmas eve isn't a time of peace and joy: Since they all have a history of escalating family conflicts, they'll be spending the holidays not at home, but in a psychiatric ward. The utterly different adolescents not only have to adjust to one another, but also have to confront themselves in exhausting therapy sessions. Yet thanks to the unorthodox psychiatrist Dr. Wolf, the sessions take a turn for the unexpected - and the four experience a Christmas which they will never forget.

All of a sudden, 16-year-old Martha vanishes. Her father Lothar, who for years has had no contact with her or his ex-wife, sets off unwilling to find her. He soon realises other young people are also vanishing from the city inexplicably. Lothar follows their trail across the country. He meets the occasional young person but the trail goes cold. In the next city he encounters militia groups and a reinforced police presence. Children are forbidden to be on the streets unless accompanied by adults. The world has changed...

Marco and Melanie, a young married couple, are living a life of passion, chaos, and all the little frustrations of everyday existence. Their love for each other seems like a beacon on heavy seas. But career pressure, burned toast, and dirty laundry are eroding all tenderness, and they never seem to find enough time for their six-year-old son, Benny, either. Their world is about to fall apart when Melanie moves out, taking Benny with her. She files for divorce, and Marco makes a decision that is not only going to change his own life. He suddenly discovers his own unique way of being a father … I’m the Father is a modern portrait of a generation which appears to fail its own ambitions: After all, how do you combine a job, children, love and all the other challenges of everyday life – without giving yourself up in the process? And then what happens when positions become entrenched and a divorce seems inevitable?

오스트리아의 여름은 아름답지만 약간 서늘하다. 티롤계곡의 저녁은 예고 없이 어두워지곤 한다. 호숫가 별장으로 향하는 게오르그 가족의 자동차를 내려다보는 높은 카메라는 이들의 왜소함을 강조하는 듯하다. 그들은 헨델, 모짜르트를 좋아하고, 함께 휴가를 즐길 이웃이 기다리고 있다. 그러나 그들을 맞이한 이웃의 태도는 어딘가 냉랭한 기운이 감돈다. 이상한 느낌이지만 크게 신경 쓸 일은 아니다. 게오르그의 부인 안나는 짐을 대충 정리하고 저녁을 준비한다. 이때 찾아든 낯선 청년 피터, 이웃의 에바가 보냈다며 달걀 4개를 빌려 달라고 한다. 이웃 에바의 사촌이라고 나타난 피터, 청년의 행동이 어딘가 이상하다. 전화기를 물에 빠뜨리지 않나, 달걀을 깨먹질 않나, 달걀을 더 내놓으라고 태연자약하게 요구하질 않나, 낯선 청년 폴의 등장은 더욱 안나를 불쾌하게 하고 신경이 날카로워진 안나는 그들에게 나가라는 요구를 하게 된다. 악의라고는 찾아볼 수 없던 청년들의 태도가 돌변하고 안나와 게오르그는 어쩔 줄 몰라한다. 골프채로 가볍게 게오르그의 다리를 부러뜨리고 관객을 향한 눈짓과 함께 재밌는 게임이 시작된다. 도저히 상상할 수 없는 게임이 펼쳐진다. 폴과 피터는 안나가족을 내일 오전 9시까지 모두 죽인다는 전제 아래 게임을 시작하며 관객에게도 참여할 것을 요구한다. 객석을 향한 폴의 눈길이 한없이 불편하지만, 조종권은 이미 그들에게 있다. 그리고 차례차례 죽어가는 살인 파티. 왜 이들은 반항하지 않는가라는 의문은 쓸데없는 일, 리모트 콘트롤을 이용한 반전은 왜 이들이 무기력하게 죽어갈 수 밖에 없는지 설명한다.

A docu-drama about tetrachloro-dibenzo dioxin, later known as 'Sevesogift', sprayed on thousands of tons of vapor in Vietnam 'Agent Orange', and the involvement of the later Federal President, Richard Karl Weizsäcker, who was hiring manager when production was moved to another plant because of massive health problems of the workers, but claims to be unable to remember anything, in these crimes.

The TV documentation reconstructs the incidents between May and November 1989 from the point of view of the Politburo of the GDR (German Democratic Republic). The incidents include the fraud of local elections, the opening of Hungary's borders towards Austria, the ensuing tide of East German refugees to Hungary and Czechoslovakia for transfer to West Germany, the pompous ceremonies at GDR's 40th anniversary, the inept transactions the Politburo took to salvage the situation, the resulting dismissal of their leader Erich Honecker, the international press conference in East Berlin on 9th November 1989, at which Politburo member Günther Schabowski erroneously announced the immediate opening of the 'Iron Curtain', which finally led to the collapse of socialism in the GDR and the other East Bloc countries.
